You had better use a blow off tube....
I got up this morning to check on the EdWort's Apfelwein that I made up yesterday and my Strawberry Hefe that I racked last night onto 6# of strawberries.
The Hefe had an OG of 1.05 and when I racked it (even though the Karsen<sp?> had not fell yet) was at 1.01. So I racked it onto 6# of strawberries (that I had in a pot and held that 180* for 30 minutes then cooled) into a 6.5 gallon Carboy. Put a bung in the hole with a 3 piece airlock and let it go.
this morning the bung and airlock was on the other side of my fermenting room and some strawberries on the floor.
I then clean things up, and shoved in a 1.5in dia x 5 foot long tube into the carboy. instantly there was co2 coming out the other end and bubbling away.:rockin:
So just note: with a wheat beer even if fermenting is done, if you rack it onto fruit, you had better treat it just like it was a new brew.
